We described the first record of Callogobius shunkan from Korea, based on two specimens (54.9~66.1 mm in standard length) collected from the southern coastal waters of Jejudo Island. These specimens were characterized by prominent papillae ridges on the head, including postnasal and postorbital rows, well-developed pelvic frenum, dark brownish head, scattered whitish flecks on the body, and three blackish spots on the basal portion of dorsal fins. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ju-reum-mang-dug" for the species.

The one specimen of Astrabe fasciata, belonging to the family Gobiidae was collected from the Dokdo of East Sea in Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimen is characterized by having two dorsal fins, pectoral fin with free rays (five upper, two lower), protrusion on upper posterior part of supraorbital dermal fold, white spots dispersed on head and five white transverse bends on the body. We proposed its Korean name "Dok-do-eol-ruk-mang-duk-sok" and "Dok-do-eol-ruk-mang-duk" for the genus and species, respectively.
